Simon Sent Packing

Stephane Albertini recently eliminated Sam Simon from the 2011 WSOP Main Event. We missed the specific action, but when the chips were all in the board read {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{k-Spades}, and the hands looked like this:

Albertini: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Simon: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

The {j-Diamonds} on the turn left Simon drawing dead, and the {q-Hearts} on the river completed the board. Simon was eliminated from the tournament, while Albertini is up to 1.68 million chips.
